  1. something appears to have happened in the overall battletech sphere, as its not just Smith and Tinker/Pihrana using the anime unseen mechs in the new mechwarrior. Catalyst games, who publishes the 'classic' pen and paper game has returned the unseen mechs ripped straight from anime back to the pen and paper game. so either someone made a deal with Big West, or with Harmony Gold, or they just decided that harmony gold isn't strong enough to put up a fight. FASA presumably saw the infamous 'letter' back in '95, so its likely Catalyst and Smith & Tinker know what legal ground they're standing on. they also seem to have a much firmer financial footing than FASA did in '95, and harmony gold would seem to be floundering.
  2. getting a bit late to put my 2 cents in, but i'm thinking that the reason Brera shot the gun was not to hinder their escape, but to protect the big purple crystal that was right above where luca was tentacled up. Brera looks definitely NUNS, but clearly there is a group in NUNS that's more interested in data than people. everyone's least favorite mophead would be in this category. this ties into the instructions Lt Glass was given about the importance of getting information too.
  3. dammit i have the stress marks under the cockpit too, both sides, but one moreso than the other. i hadn't noticed until i saw this thread. i received mine on 12/18/06, only transformed it 2 or 3 times (fighter mode is just too sexy).
  4. well, the bount arc is officially over. episode 110 starts the Arrancar arc. the bount arc started out really poorly, especially with its pacing, but towards the end it got a lot better. ultimately though, it feels a lot like a re-hashing of the previous two arcs, with no new information about any of the characters (with the exception of seeing Matsumoto's zanpakuto in action).
  5. i've watched up to episode 8 so far, and i'm really enjoying it. its a bit melodramatic, but this is anime after all. i really like the twist of the uber mecha being exclusively on the bad guy's side, even if its pilot is a good friend of the hero. i realize the the black knights are going to get an uber mech of their own soon, but it's much less the traditional hero styled robot than lancelot. i'm not sure why the opening theme is so popular on youtube though, i find it pretty annoying. i like the ending theme though, reminds me of the opening to noir (the only thing really worth remembering about noir), i think its done by the same group.
  6. i have updated only minorly since the last version of this thread 1/48 1 - Max VF-1J super 1 - Hikaru VF-1J 1 - VF-1A 1 - Strike armor set 1 - GBP armor set 1/60 1 - VF-1S strike 1 - VF-1A mp version 1 - VF-1A TRU version 1 - VF-1J Miria super 1 - VF-1A Max 1 - VF-1D 1/72 1 - VF-11 FP 1 - VF-21 FP
  7. and bad imitation at that. Kawamori's gerwalks are the only ones that ever look remotely 'right' and even the froating head doesn't always get it quite as perfect as the VF-1. Gerwalk is my favorite mode, fighter and battloid are both nice, but there's just something about the gerwalk mode, the aggressive looking combination of fighter and robot really works for me.
  8. well as much as i love the banprestos, they really are shitty. if these have any quality to them, it will be worth it to pick up a couple, though i wish they'd opted for the tv versions, i'd kill for a tv max VF-1A, the DYRL version have been done to death by yamato and bandai (who seem to have no interest in the anything from SDF macross other than the -1Js, so toynami would have an immediate leg up in the market, plus the tv versions are the only ones that the robotechies will tend to recognize anyways)
  9. hmm, Humphrey Bogart (57%) Elvis Costello (47%) and under 'all' Cate Blanchett (48%) it must be the nose
  10. get it. the emia zaku is great. the joints are mostly the same as the v2 zaku, with a handful of tweaks and redesigns that make a huge difference. plus the sculpt is one of the best zaku sculpts i've ever seen. it shares no parts with the 2nd version and even features a moving monoeye, thats geared, you don't have to open the head to move the monoeye (in fact you can't open it, its glued pretty good), there's a lever on the back of the head under the cables. its not just a a peg with a painted dot, when you move the lever to the left (as viewed from the front of the head) the monoeye moves to the left, move the lever to the right, the eye goes right, as opposed to a peg where moving it to the left or right would move the eye to the opposite side. this is my favorite part about the whole toy.
  11. not tremendously surprised, sulu always was the prettiest. exhibit A
  12. i'm in. what happened to the old mapping project?
  13. it is a vf-1, and the squadron's been identified at some point, though i for get which one. try digging through the archives a bit.
  14. !! this is the part that really sparks my interest. wonder how they're going to make that work. can't wait to see the D-type
